Name: Irish Moss Jamaican Style
Cuisine: Jamaican

Cooking Directions

Prepare the Irish Moss:

If using dried Irish moss, soak it in water for a few hours.
If using fresh moss, clean it thoroughly to remove any seaweed, sand, and grit.

Cook the Moss:

Simmer the moss in water until it becomes tender.
Once tender, top up the water to the original level and bring to a boil.

Strain and Sweeten:

Strain the liquid through a muslin cloth or fine sieve to remove any remaining solids.
Add sugar to taste.

Add Flavorings:

Stir in milk and nutmeg.
Optional: Add enough strawberry syrup to achieve a pink color.

Set the Jelly:

Pour the liquid into a glass bowl.
Refrigerate until it sets.

This Irish moss jelly boasts a delicate and subtle flavor. For a refreshing variation, it can also be made into a more liquid form and enjoyed as a drink.
